Use HFVExplorer to create a 'virtual hard drive' to store games ('Format new volume' in File Menu).

If you have Macintosh disks, HFVExplorer can also read its contents and copy it to your PC. You'll need this program to create and load Macintosh disks into Basilisk II.

Download HFVExplorer and install it to c:asiliskii.

BasiliskII_prefs - Basilisk II settings.

Mac Quadra ROM - ROM of Mac Quadra computer.

It includes system files as well as StuffIt Expander, a utility needed to decompress.

The best place to start are Zophar's Domain,, and EmuUnlim.Ĭhoose the computer you want to emulate on your PC: Please ask for help in the respective emulator community instead. If these games do not work on your system, it is definitely a machine-specific problem which we are not qualified to help. Important caveat: Every non-PC game on this site has been tested to work with the emulators we recommend below, running on a Pentium II 233, under Windows 98.

If you need help, please follow our links to sites that are dedicated to those computers.

This page is meant as a rough overview of how to play non-PC underdogs on your PC, not an exhaustive resource.
